One. Had the same tooth (#10) done today. the canal was calcified, and the procedure took an hour. The dentist said I did not need the shot to numb it.. but had him do it anyways. Glad i did. More drilling and filing , and probing than expected, because of the calcified canal. It was a successful.

May happend to your teeth if you do not clean them?
You may start loosing teeth and have to get root canals and get crowns put in . My parents when they were small rarely brushed and flossed their teeth and now they have gotten a lot of root canals and crowns, then they will have to get dentures! Plaque can also "grow" on your teeth and build up bad, if you do not brush your teeth ever(for like 20 years), the plaque can build up so much, you can choke on it! Your teeth will also rot and become yellow. My sagestion is to at least brush your teeth once a week if you do not want a bunch of plaque to build up and choke you, but for healthy teeth brush them twice a day a floss once!

Are wisdom teeth permanent teeth?
